I’m loving how the skirt turned out, the fit is perfect! The skirt has a flat front, so it looks good with a tucked in shirt and elastic in the back, for easy on/off (and easy construction.) I definitely prefer the ease of elastic-waist bottoms, and the look of the flat front really makes it look more structured.

It’s a bit difficult to see in these photos, but the fabric is corduroy. I had spotted the floral corduroy on the clearance table at Joann’s, and the pink fabric and ribbon were from my stash.)

Thank you! I can definitely do that once I get back into my office, maybe tomorrow. I would need to consult my charts. I do think needs to be done for size 12 is to use half inch instead of quarter inch elastic.Jamie

I love this skirt!!! Were you able to figure out the requirements for a size 12 skirt? My daughters love to wear skirts, and I had something like this in mind for them. Also, do you have a suggestion for something like this for a size 6/8 womens? My oldest is almost 13, so she is in smaller womens sizes. Thanks.

Love the skirt and the tutorial. I am looking to make a solid red skirt for my DD for a school performance. Do you think it will look ok if I skip the bottom border and just hem the skirt up? I too hope to find a light-weight corduroy. Will be my first time using corduroy, what kind of needle do you use? Thank you!

I made two of these skirts yesterday for my two daughters, sizes 6 and 10. I made them for my older daughter’s upcoming birthday party, which has a “Wild at Heart Zoo” theme. So the skirts are kind of wild too (purple leopard print and tie-dye pattern border)! They turned out super cute and the girls love them! And I must admit I feel rather pleased with my efforts! I will post some photos once I have taken some either before or at the party.

The only thing I did differently was I sewed on the trim before I pulled the elastic and sewed the sides together. That way, the ends of the trim were tucked neatly into that side seam and this worked very well. Since I was using jumbo rickrack, I was concerned about it being bulky and untidy when I tried to turn over the end if I applied the trim after the skirt was finished.

The pattern was just what I was looking for! Thanks so much for the tutorial!

It’s not a printable pattern, but a set of cutting numbers/instrutions. Is that what you are looking for? If so, at the bottom of the post/page 1, it says: “Ready to make one of these skirts for your little one? Head over to PAGE 2 for the cutting and sewing instructions.” So, follow the link to page 2 for the instructions.
Good luck,
Jamie
